...we have to limit it? Sorry, but if you made 40 million more people able to access preventative care other than an emergency room, our system would be overcrowded. We need to keep that amount off the rolls in order to keep the greatest health-care system in the world. If we were to expand it...

...States"? Seriously, if you dare to bring up that another nation does one thing particularly well and that we could learn from it or that you enjoy exploring other cultures, it only takes about five minutes for someone to come onto this site and rant, "yeah, well if you think it's so good in...

cucumbers? Because that's all that ever goes on in our public K-12 school system, right? I mean, I read the posts here all the time about the need to take one's kids out of public school and homeschool them b/c it's important that the average American share his grand intellect with his children...

...is the only free nation? Now, I know that there are a lot of problems with our schooling system that need to be addressed, but even if your teacher spent time putting condoms on cucumbers, preaching the virtues of Marxism and homosexuality (no one ever seems to report on how often this...

for it)? I see them on the bus, White people who clean gutters, pick up trash on the freeways, move furniture, wash dishes, etc. who earn just enough to live in a dive, buy a bus pass and buy groceries from the 99 Cent Shop. What do you think of them? I was always taught that poor people are...

I am fluent in Spanish and French, can read basic Italian and am learning Portuguese. I am thinking of dumping FOX News and much of the American mainstream and reading newspapers/watching news/listening to radio from Francophone nations as well as Spanish-speaking nations as that gives me more...

For example, an American who speaks Spanish can read newspapers and watch news/listen to radio from Spain and Latin America; an American who speaks fluent Portuguese can get news from other sources, namely Brazil, Portugal and several Portuguese-speaking nations in Africa; if he also speaks...

...do you feel about state govt.? Basically, to attain the status of resident in that state (for tuition and other benefits), you would have to show proof that you have insurance (provided by your job or bought personally at a reduced rate through a state pool) as there is no reason that other...

but Obama is? I don't remember anyone calling Ronald Reagan simply "Wilson," or his successor "Herbert Walker," or the president after him "Jefferson," or the next president as "Walker," but I hear President Obama referred to simply by his middle name a lot. Why is this? Why didn't the...

once and for all? And return it to real Americans? People who value life experience over universities, people who aren't ashamed to like NASCAR and bowling, people who don't act like it's a life or death matter if you don't go to college, don't go to museums, don't go to operas and don't travel...

I keep hearing from birthers that it doesn't matter if you're born in America, you have to be born to two US citizens in order to be a "natural-born citizen." OK, let's analyze this: Bob is an American and marries Sally, who is British. They have a son named Harold born in the USA while Sally is...

Based on what you see here. For example, I think that if a man is secure enough in his heterosexuality and has nothing to hide he wouldn't have any fear of openly doing a lot of the things that are associated with liberals on this board, living in Manhattan or San Francisco, reading novels...

whine about wars? Aren't wars a worthwhile expenditure of our tax dollars? Don't wars bring a country together,help build solidarity as we keep vigils for our troops? Socialized medicine kills more people per year than any war in history, so why are the Left so bent out of shape about having...

Fact: 7.74 out of 1,000 Canadians died last year Fact: 10.02 out of 1,000 British people died last year. Thousands of people died in both countries last year and liberals want to impose their health care systems on us. FACT: more people died in Canada and England last year than all the people...

Let's add how many have died in Iraq: 5,000 soldiers. Let's add up how many people die in England and Canada each year, a land where socialized medicine is found? The facts are out there and I will bet anything that more than 5,000 English and Canadians die each year.
